Value For Money : Poor
FM synth with 4 octaves

Audio interface: Right | Left / Stereo | Headphones
Midi: In | Out | Thru

100 preset sounds, edit (edit backups in five banks of a sound)

Effects section: Duo, Reverb, Sustain, Stereo Chorus (not configurable) and a portamento (adjustable time)

100 styles available can edit the drum part, tempo from 10-220 BPM, you can save 5 monophonic melodies, or 1 / 2 polyphonic. 5 chord recordable (acts on the part of the 100 melodic styles available).

UTILIZATION

Configuration ultra simple, even childish.

Editing sounds very basic.

Manual clear and complete.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not remember exactly when I got it (I was a kid, it must be 11/12 years old now)

I love the sound very old school FM synth, you can really get out of the craziest sounds and powerful, and errors in the high frequencies create unpredictable and unbelievable.
All the drum part is terrible, the pads do not react nearly, and the sounds are ugly, but not enough to be typical.

I do not recommend this synth to anyone, unless you really want the sound it produces. € 100 is way too expensive for what remains of this machine (even new it would be too expensive).

I keep what I have, but if it die, I do not replace it ...
